Despite some of the events being cancelled due to Storm Babet, Whitby Abbey managed to have a spook-tacular night on Halloween.
It was still pouring down with rain, but the weather made the event atmospheric and added to the fun.
The historic ruins looked fantastic illuminated against the dark sky back drop and exclusive theatrical performances, which had a twist on the usual Dracula story fans know and love, were great to watch, particularly in the weather.
From toasting marshmallows to fish and chips, there was plenty of food options for those who wanted to have their tea at the Abbey.
Whitby Abbey will have the Illuminated Abbey event again next year, 2024, so make sure you go for a night of spooky fun!
